Improbable has been presenting award-winning theatre, from very small scale performances to large scale plays and operas, for 20 years. We add high-quality work to the cultural landscape, and tour our work as much as possible to benefit those living outside London. We also run Open Space forums around the state of the arts and contemporary theatre practice.
